April 21, 2009



April 21, 2009 was my last day as a newspaper photographer.  A dear friend of mine, Ethan Hyman, shot this photo of me as I returned roughly $15,000 in photography equipment issued to me by the Raleigh News & Observer.  Our equipment manager, Paul Magann, seen at right, was another one of the 31 employees who shared my fate. I was his last official duty.

I have spent my professional life making a living telling other peoples’ stories. Here is mine.

  1. Job well done. I am sure the N&O will miss your storytelling ability, your enthusiasm for multimedia and your NCPOY credentials.

    It's readers will miss your imagery more.

    I saw the first 4 blog posts and think Mere Exposure will be a splendid photo endeavor.
